Dinner served in the east hall
Small caps in a single-style display font are a pleasant surprise, and Gideon Roman has them, with a caps-to-small-caps switch, old style figures and discretionary ligatures alongside. That makes a formal menu or an invitation easy to set properly: names in small caps, dates in old style figures, nothing faked.
Robert Leuschke built it on a Roman character set. The capitals carry most of the classical feeling, and he kept the lowercase legible enough for a longer block of copy, though a full page in 1 weight with no italic would be a stretch. Western and Central European languages and Vietnamese are supported. Gideon came to Google Fonts in August 2021.
